Fairhaven, Part 2

Continuing our architectural tour of Fairhaven, this is their town hall! How cool would it be to work here?







I think this is the library.










Fairhaven High School

Reminded me a bit of Hogwarts.

Fairhaven Architecture, Part 1

Fairhaven is an architecture lover's dream.  When Diane, the kids & I went to Fort Phoenix, we passed by this huge cathedral and I couldn't wait to take pics of it!!  It's the Unitarian church and I wish it had been open so I could see the inside.  


That's my car parked in front of it, for scale purposes.


 The stonework is breathtaking


Flying buttresses!



I assume this is a copper door.  The patina is lovely and the detail is exquisite.


This is next door and I think serves as the church's offices.

This whole neighbourhood is full of old homes and almost all of them have plaques on them showing the approximate or exact date of construction with the historical family name on them.  A lot of them were the homes of ship captains and built in the mid 1800s.



This is a private residence!
